So yeah....I have really discoved how angry I am. Better yet I know at least part (specifically what i am so P'oed about). I let loose on a different board and it feels kind of good to finally be able to feel some anger and understand what it is about and be able to begin to direct it to where it belongs and the situation it belongs to.

Yes...I'm babbling but...keep up:-) I am sooooooo angry that my body was not respected. People used my child body and didn't listen to no. It is HIS fault. 2 of them to be precise. My body is mine and no one elses. They took that because I was too little to stop it. I am not anymore and I am not going to feel bad for saying no.

Stepping down from the soap box...

sounds like good progress - your anger is so natural and understandable. I've had loads of it myself, in the past. These days, I can still get angry when the topic of paedophiles comes up.
take care.

Yes, it's good to reclaim your right to your boundaries, isn't it? Starting with the body, to be sure. And extending to the soul, the mind, the heart. How dare they! It really is an outrage. Out-RAGE!

Yes, Cecil great work great job on focusing your anger at what it need to be aimed toward. Also great job with putting to use: healthy anger.

Do not aim the anger toward ourselves.
Keep it in check. often.

I understand, Cec - why. Who wouldn't get angry.
I have taught myself a lot of ways ... to channel anger/negativity... This is a BIG baby step for you! .... Love you Cec; here!!

I don't consider it soap boxing until my rage is directed toward telling other people how to live their lives and/or use their minds.

This post sounds like a well focused, honest inventory of your own heart. May it lead you to honest healing.
